Frugal gardening, what frugal gardening did you do today?

Today whilst out walking I noticed about 20 big bulbs of bluebells thrown away in the re-cycling bin! They are now planted in my back garden and well watered. they are a tad wilted but fingers crossed,they might revive.
Yesterday a neighbour gave me several plants from her garden as she was splitting clumps of perenials.

well i wasnt out today
but i did plant quite a bit
and when i stood back admiring my handywork
i realized everything was from free seeds, and it made me smile!

My neighbours are having a clear out prior to moving. I made a gate from a spare bit of picket fencing that was going to the tip otherwise. Just need some hinges and and latch now.

I made my own tomato food, no chemicals from the shops for me

Rather than using potting compost in my newly built rockery, I dug some soil from an area that will be getting paved soon, and used that.

Not very exciting, but I've had a lazy day!

Ooh, sounds good Lotus-eater. Is there a recipe for that somewhere online?

I have cleared out a cupboard and found a load of seeds I harvested a couple of years ago from my garden and meant to do last year.. I have scattered them out tonight and fingers crossed x I figured I have nothing to lose.........

some great tips and ideas here. And all those lorry journeys and pollution saved by using what was already to hand.:)

Just used the last of the yogurt pots tonight to plant the gazanias that arrived on Saturday - I feel guilty for leaving it so long but had the greehouse to build etc etc - there isn't enough hours in the day sometimes.

I planted some of my collection of free seeds (from bbc dig in and good food mag) in my b&q £1.98 propagator (instead of the £5 garden center one)
